Anurag Dobhal, widely known as UK07 Rider and a former contestant of Bigg Boss 17, has shocked fans after releasing an emotional vlog announcing that he is stepping away from YouTube. The influencer alleged severe mental harassment and family pressure following his inter-caste marriage with Ritika, describing the past few months as the most painful period of his life.

In the video, Dobhal said his life had “drastically changed” in ways he never imagined, adding that the emotional strain had left him feeling shattered and exhausted.
Allegations of Family Pressure and Conflict
According to Dobhal, tensions within his family escalated after his marriage. He claimed he was subjected to humiliation and emotional pressure from relatives, recalling that he was allegedly forced to publicly apologise to elders during family gatherings. He described the experience as deeply distressing, saying he had to fold his hands and touch their feet in front of relatives despite believing he had done nothing wrong.
The YouTuber also alleged that his parents told him they would neither be happy themselves nor allow him to live peacefully. Family disputes around inter-caste marriages are not uncommon in India. Studies and reports by organisations like National Commission for Women and sociological research from institutions such as Pew Research Center highlight that although acceptance of such marriages is gradually increasing, social resistance and family pressure still persist in many communities.
Disturbing Revelations About Mental Health Struggles
In the vlog, Dobhal opened up about the emotional toll the conflict had taken on him. He revealed that the stress had pushed him into an extremely dark phase, where he struggled with feelings of hopelessness and exhaustion. The creator also spoke about his earlier health challenges, recalling being diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 14, which had already subjected him to intense family expectations and personal sacrifices.
A Message to His Wife and Fans
Dobhal further alleged that his brother had taken away his property and even his dogs through threats. In a message addressed to his wife Ritika, he wrote that many people may speak against him after he is gone but insisted that he had always loved her and tried to do everything for their family. The emotional revelations stunned followers, especially because the couple had married only last year and announced their first pregnancy a few months later.
Fans React With Concern
The vlog quickly spread across social media, with fans expressing concern for the YouTuber’s mental well-being and urging him to seek support. Many followers also called for compassion and privacy as the situation continues to unfold.
Mental health experts often stress that individuals experiencing intense emotional distress should seek professional help and community support rather than face struggles alone.
